Hey Dan, I'm currently looking for a detailer for my parents as I can’t do it anymore being in college. They are about to get new cars and I’ll be doing the new car detail and most polishing and coating over the next few years. But they will need someone for maintenance washes probably once...

Thanks everybody. Will be ordering some iron-x shortly.

I measure my dilutions. Previously I have used 32:1 (I think that's their recommendation), but I was using 32:2. I guess I will try 32:1 to see if that helps. If that doesn't help, I might try iron-x.

Working on my mom's Honda Pilot that hasn't had wax or sealant in several years. I did a two bucket wash and then used my new nanoskin fine grade mitt. I followed the directions and broke it in the glass. I used Maxi Suds II as my lube and thoroughly went over the car. Did the Baggie test and...

Amazon was selling the 3401 for $350, and I can get free 2 day shipping so I decided to buy it. They stated new condition and it was sold through Amazon, not some shady seller. When I got it, I noticed the box was damaged (not the shipping box, the actual box the machine comes in). The flex...

I have read that waxing the bottom is pointless as it will wear off after a couple trips. I waxed the bottom of my boat once and never noticed it being squirrelly, and it doesn't make any difference in speed. I probably won't do it again as its a pia for something that might last a week. One...
